Deniz Yusuf’s Interview on the Property Management Mastermind Show

By

Property Management Mastermind PodcastWhile traveling in the United States this month, I had the opportunity to meet with Brad Larsen and record a podcast for his Property Management Mastermind Show.

During our conversation, we cover a wide range of topics of interest to any property manager who wants to excel in the industry. We spent a fair amount of time talking about business development managers. When is a good time to hire one? How do you hire and compensate the right person?
​
We also discuss the importance of implementing a CRM system early on and how knowing your closing ratio is critical when determining what is working. Listen to the interview below.

Proactive approach to help Private owners

By

contacting landlords about managing their propertyThere are so many owners that feel they can manage a property themselves, and are advertising on various websites such as Gumtree. Not sure if you’re aware, but there are companies that if you list your private property with them, this then is uploaded to REA.com & Domain.com plus a further other 8 websites, so competing against real estate agents is becoming so much easier now. (This is another article in itself)

Don’t get into the mindset of this won’t affect me, because the easier things become for people, the more people will then jump on board. More and more people will manage properties themselves, if they feel they can do a better job, or they’ve previously had bad experience with an agent.

Contacting owners that are managing properties themselves

An easy approach to help people who decide to manage properties themselves is call them up and offer them some assistance. I can hear you all cringe right now, “I’m not cold calling” Firstly, this is being proactive in growing a rent roll, but the point I’m getting at is, if you want a warmer approach, offer them some assistance, don’t call and tell them they should be using you.

Offer information and tips

Offer to send them some information that might help them lease the property faster, such as “16 tips to reduce your stress levels as an owner” This at least opens the door to build a relationship, send them something, (don’t miss the chance to send some information on your company) Then you can give them a follow up call in the next few days asking if the received the information, and how’s the leasing going?

This is branding your name, your company and it’s a very warm approach, not hard selling.

A few more options can arise from this, offer them a let/lease only service (again I can feel the moaning) but you can convert lease only business into full managements. An office I train just converted 5 properties from ONE call to an owner who had a property vacant for over two months.

“16 Tips to reduce your stress levels”

Contact Deniz BDMCoachIf you would like a free copy of “16 Tips to reduce your stress levels” contact me at deniz@bdmcoach.com.au.

You can split this up into your own wording and make it 5 or 6 tips, even create some blogs around them. Now don’t forget to then add them to your contact management system and database for newsletters.

I hope your New Business is on Fire, if not give me a call.

How Are You Handling Your Leads?

By

How are you handling new leads

  • Are you sure that your office is recognizing all the leads coming through your office door?
  • Have you got a system in place that’s monitoring this?
  • Are leads coming in, and you’re office just isn’t converting them into listings?
  • How can you fix this? AND do you know what to do next?

Well the below information is what Deniz does with agencies he trains, so as a partnership, we can turn that around and convert more listings for the office, and WIN more new business.

Are you not growing at the new numbers that you would like to achieve?

There’s two factors to check:

  • Does your office have enough new management leads (Focus would be lead generation strategies)
  • If your office has plenty of new leads, but the team may not be converting these leads to new managements. (Focus is skills / follow up training of your team)

Most agencies I start to train need to be working on B more, then when we dry up the leads that are leaking out, we move into A….generate more leads.

  1. Identify the blockages & understand your current new business process
    If you are not achieving the growth numbers you would to like – it would be of because of either above A or B. Once we understand this we can focus our energy improving the processes
  2. Goal setting & Targets
    (Do you currently have targets / what has been the performance since the commencement?) this will provide bench mark to improve. Do you have a growth chart in place? If so great as it should be reviewed weekly, so you can ascertain what the next steps would be (Are you on track to reach the goals? If not…work on how you’re going to reach them). Set up a growth chart with each month on it with goals and targets being visible to all.
  3. Do you have current method of tracking the leads?
    It’s important to all business that you have a system of tracking your leads. Your office needs to know where your income is coming from, so you can set a strategy for continued growth, and work on what areas your office is lacking. HOW can you fix, what you don’t know is failing? Its great getting the leads in, but we are here to grow the business. This now takes us to the next step.
  4. Accountability & follow up to the individual listing agents
    What’s being done with the leads? This is having a KPI system that you monitor weekly, to ensure that your listing agents are working to the fullest capabilities.
  5. Conversions.
    The KPI system will help your office, so you can see where the office is losing the business, helping with understanding where the leads are being lost for the next step.
  6. Training on scripts and dialogues
    Work with your staff individually so you can get the best out of your listing agents. Have meetings with them and work out why and how they’re losing the business, so you then can work together on scripts and dialogues for practice. Roll play together, yes it’s uncomfortable to do this, but better to make the mistake in front of your staff than to a client. More practice, more knowledge you gain from this, the better they’ll get, so they’re prepared for the real life client.
  7. Follow-ups (when and how)
    Even if you lose the listing, this doesn’t mean that you STOP calling the client, put a plan in place to keep in contact with your leads, continue the relationship, and work together as a team within your office on when you need to follow up. The grass isn’t greener on the other side.
    Leads are already coming into YOUR office, work on highlighting the areas of the blockage and put things in place so there’s no leaking. (This comes back to A & B)
